Homeopathy and Sports Injuries

Sports injuries are common phenomena in our lives. Each one of us knows people who were injured while doing sports. All ages are among the injured - children, adults and seniors. People get injured during any kind of sports activities including basketball, football, golf, ski, martial arts and more. As a nurse, a mother and a homeopath I have seen many sports injuries. Shoulders, knees, back, head. I have seen it all.

Lots of times, people with sports injuries find themselves going through lengthy painful therapeutic and recovery processes. Even if a surgical intervention is not necessary, casts splints, long periods of dependency on pain killers and long and painful rehabilitation periods are common.

Homeopathy can offer many solutions that expedite and simplify that recovery process. This is because Homeopathic remedies have the ability to regain the vital force which in turn, enables the body to use its own healing power to work from the inside out.

Applying Homeopathic remedies to support the recovery process in cases of sports injury (be it a simple one, or a complicated one that may require surgery) may shorten the recovery and rehabilitation process, and make them less painful. This saves suffering, time and money.

Homeopathy may be incorporated from the very time of injury. Applying homeopathic remedies immediately following an injury can reduce the pain and shocking effect of the injury. Homeopathic remedies can help reduce swelling, edema and hematomas.

As a result the injured will need significantly less pain medication or none at all. This, of course, will reduce or eliminate the very well known side-effects: Allergies, exhaustion, drowsiness and confusion. All this is a result of the homeopathic remedies ability to encourage one’s body to be an active participant in minimizing the damage and expediting the recovery from the very moment of injury.

For example, a woman who fell off her bikes and fractured her wrist, used homeopathic remedies starting 10 minutes after the injury, during the trip to the emergency room and after being casted. The injury was bad enough to consider a later surgery option. She never used any painkillers or any other medications at all. Her recovery was so well, that surgery was deemed un-necessary and she recovered fully after six weeks.
